How is the solvent in a solution best identified?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By dissolving medium and larger amount
The solvent is the medium in which the solute dissolves and is usually present in the greater amount. Its physical state generally determines whether the final solution is classified as solid, liquid, or gas. Brightness, smell, and container shape do not define a solvent, and water is not the solvent in every solution.
